I did not know that I would have to come up with an additional fee of $55.00 for carpet cleaning. Since my notice she has given me a list of things that need to be cleaned and fixed. When I moved in the apartment the carpet was matted and needed to be replaced. I noted it on our move-in papers. Can she do this?

For it was documented but youll probably have to fight her in court for it.
she has to fix at her own expense normal wear and tear i would not pay it if its not in the lease
The carpet need to clean and they do if you moved in the sheet before you know you moved in that it would do if you have to be replaced thats what would do.
no he can not because that was not part of the lease
like everyone else said - no. your landlord is just trying to make a few extra bucks off you. You might want to point out, a landlord can claim carpet cleaner on their taxes as a business expense, you can’t.
You said you noted that it was matted and needed to be replaced, not that it was dirty. She can bill you. If you had rented a carpet machine and did it yourself she wouldn’t need to.
